Once Steve Englehart gave her the witchcraft training, writers would constantly go back and forth on whether she was using magic or her mutant hex powers at any given time, which I assume is why Kurt Busiek thought he was simplifying things by saying that it was <i>all</i> magic. Of course he just made it more complicated.<br /><br />I like Shooter&#39;s Avengers too. It isn&#39;t an iconic run like Thomas&#39;s, but I generally prefer it to Englehart&#39;s better-loved run: Shooter really dug into the characters and explored some interesting ideas about them, and even his most infamous story (Hank slapping Jan) resulted in Wasp breaking free of her jerk husband and going from Team Ditz to team leader. Shooter&#39;s dialogue is not the greatest, and arguably his approach was better executed when he farmed out stories to David Michelinie (who had the same approach but sharper dialogue).
